Gonzalo Higuain

Chelsea insists on Higuain despite Milan’s objection…

Gonzalo Higuain might be wanted at the Blues however it will be a transfer enmeshed in a lot of controversies. according to Sky in Italy, Chelsea’s chief-executive Marina Granovskaia remains insistent that Higuain is the answer to Chelsea’s striking problems so it seems all aces will be put forward to make it happen.

A prospective deal for Higuain is complicated by the striker’s season-long loan at AC Milan from parent club Juventus.

Although there are reports linking the former Real Madrid man to Chelsea, Milan’s sporting director Leonardo is keen on keeping him and has urged Higuain to knuckle down.

The 31-year old broke the Serie A goal scoring record under Sarri at Napoli with 36 goals in the 2015/16 season, earning him a £75m move to Juventus.

As the case is, If Sarri is unable to ensure Chelsea signs Higuain, the Italian will turn his attention to Wilson, who has scored 10 goals in 23 matches in all competitions for Bournemouth this season.

Not so long ago, Chelsea’s assistant manager Gianfranco Zola confirmed the club’s interest in Wilson, forcing Cherries’ boss Eddie Howe to insist he is not for sale.
